Bone and joint protection composition and use thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to a bone and joint protection composition and use thereof. According to the composition, the four Chinese medicinal herbs Eucommiae Cortex, Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix, Astragali Radix and Chuanxiong Rhizoma are used, and the effects of enhancing the bone density, preventing and relieving osteoporosis, restraining the activity of osteoclast, promoting the function of bone cells, increasing the formation of calcified bone, promoting cartilage repair, delaying joint recession and repairing joint damage are achieved through multiple approaches and multiple levels. On the basis, by adding glucosamine hydrochloride, chondroitin sulfate and/or collagen, the bone density can be enhanced, the osteoporosis can be prevented and treated; the activity of the osteoclast can be restrained, the function of bone cells can be promoted, the formation of calcified bone can be increased, the cartilage repair can be promoted, joint recession can be delayed, and the joint damage can be repaired.
